As
a test, both of the theory espoused in this ibsite
and my own ability to use a multiparameter card counting
system, we played and recorded 5000 hands. Each of
them was analyzed by a computer to determine if basic
strategy should have been changed and, if so, how
much expectation could have been gained by such appropriate
departure.

When
an intelligent poker player goes broke, he isn't selling
his car or declaring bankruptcy. Although this does
happen, normally "poker broke" means that
a player has lost the money he'd set aside for playing
poker. If he has been playing with rent or food money
and is broke in a conventional sense, he has a gambling
problem and should quit playing - probably forever,
but certainly at least until he's bath assembled a
poker bankroll and developed more discipline.
